Have brought my old 2001 Isuzu Rodeo in 3 separate times for various issues over the last few years. It's paid off, and likely only has a few years of life left before something major breaks and is not worth the cost to fix. They understood my situation, gave me some great advice, and worked with me through some minor repairs. The car is still running, and I feel great about the decisions made along the way. Highly recommend.

Ulmer's Auto Care is a professional automotive service shop that provides quality repairs and good value, compare to dealers. They are punctual and can be trusted to have ready your car when promised. They are not the least expensive however one can trusted them to deliver good and satisfactory work.

I feel that you can trust Ulmer's in their evaluation of our car and van. They always try to have work done in a reasonable time and keep you informed what needs to be done and how much it will cost. I've always found them to be honest and fair,

It's great to have an auto shop that focuses on taking care of the customer and the long term relationship. Very happy with the expert advice and quality of work. Great ethics and integrity. Couldn't go to another shop after going here.

As always, the service at Ulmer’s was superb! Bryan, Steve, and Wesley take care of my cars and I trust them to be honest and give me fair prices. They make sure my cars are safe to drive and up-to-date on services. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

I had an extremely pleasant experience here. I found the services performed to be better warrantied yet comparably priced to other local shops. Steve was extremely transparent and up front with itemized estimates, and nothing was done without consulting me. I never felt upsold or uninformed, and the free loaner vehicle allowed me to avoid missing any work. Highly recommended - I plan to be a repeat customer!

Bryan, Steve, Wes, and the entire team at Ulmer's are, and have always been, amazing to work with!!! I have been taking my car to them for the last 10+ years, and have never had a bad experience. I always find them to be extremely helpful, accommodating, and very trustworthy. They have helped me out on numerous occasions, and I am so very thankful they are there!!!

Mike Norvell

17:26 24 Jan 20

I've been using Ulmer's for all our cars for several years now and couldn't be happier. Unlike many garages, they conduct their business as professionals. You can count on prompt communications and thorough explanations. I've never felt nickle and dimed over small issues.

Absolutely love this place not only did I get a bumper to bumper check at a nice price they had a shuttle bus to take me home so I wouldn’t have to wait there and the shuttle came and picked me up from my house to get my car when it was ready!!!! I will definitely be back for all my car needs no need to go anywhere else you guys rocks!! thanks so much

Wesley, Stephen & Brian have taken care of my cars forever. I trust their judgement completely when it comes to keeping my cars running smoothly, over the years. I recommend Ulmer’s often to friends and will continue to do so. Won’t go anywhere else!

Anjie Kirk

Always great service! Wesley and Steve provide excellent customer service with communication throughout the process. I have been taking my cars to Ulmer’s for years and fully trust their expert team.

Ulmers has been taking care of is for 20 years and never let is down. We always feel safe and comfortable with them. Highly recommend.

I had an electric issue with my ‘98 Jeep Cherokee. It had been to 3 other places to try and solve the problem...without any success. Ulmer’s was the place that solved it! Wesley kept me informed about progress and was very conscious about expense. I would recommend them highly for any auto repair. Thanks Ulmer’s!

Took a Lexus RX330 in with an engine noise that sounded similar to an old engine with mechanical lifters that needed adjustment; but new that wasn't applicable to this model. Ulmer's quickly diagnosed the problem as a bad water pump. They replaced it and the idler pulley, tensioner and timing belt and we had the car back the next day, sounding like it did originally. Cost seemed a bit high but service and repair were great.

I must admit, I have always been a dealer guy, I have had a great relationship with our dealer for 26 years . My son’s car is a different make than our other cars, and is older. I no longer will patronize Toyota, so I took the car to Ulmer’s, well it was a great decision. Shout out to Wesley, great customer service, very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain things. They were able to take care of my son’s car in a very timely manner at a fair price. I will be taking it there for everything in the future.

Hannah Theo

Another wonderful service experience with Ulmer’s, per usual. Honest, friendly and knowledgeable. Employees seem happy which is always a good sign.

Stephen Landa

Ulmer’s Auto Care is all about excellence - customer service, mechanical work and fair prices. They are very dependable, and everyone there is pleasant and courteous. A trusted resource for sure.

Super friendly. They treat you right. First time dealing with them, 5 stars. Was referred by a friend and I’m glad I did. Looks like they take care of their peeps, which means their peeps are more likely to take care of their customers.

Barb Ferrara

00:26 08 Oct 19

So glad to be able to have a car repair shop that I can trust! The staff at Ulmer's does such a great job. Always honest and trustworthy.

Justin Allen

23:54 07 Oct 19

Great first experience and will be returning to Ulmer's. It is hard to find an honest and reliable auto care facility and Ulmer's is exactly that. Their service is top notch as well.

Mark Dandridge

22:51 27 Sep 19

PromptAnd honest service. The courtesy shuttle is an added bonus! I’ll definitely be using them for all future needs.

Amy Wagner

12:26 11 Sep 19

I had a great first time experience with Ulmer's and I plan on going back for any future auto needs. Very friendly, knowledgeable, and I did not feel pressured to make a big purchase for a small repair(like you feel at some other auto shops or car dealerships) ! Thanks so much for taking care of my car guys!!

Jeremy Hensley

15:51 17 Aug 19

Bryan and Wes helped with a nail in my tire. I called on short notice, they got me in quickly! My tires are a pain to remove because I have bead lock wheels, they did not complain, they just took care of it quickly and efficiently! When they called to let me know my Jeep was ready for pick up, they sent a shuttle driver to pick me up within 15 min. Every person that I have come in contact with from Ulmer’s so far have been first class!! They all seam genuinely interested in giving customers the best service possible! What a great family run business!!

Julie and Carl Edmondson

13:42 16 Aug 19

When warning lights appeared on our dash, Wesley Adams took the time to do a quick review and assured us the vehicle was safe to drive for a couple days until we could get a repair appointment. That gave us peace of mind. A couple days later, Andrew Chalfant made the repairs and our car runs great now, with no warning lights. We are very happy with the service provided by Ulmer's.

Kelley Surette

15:47 14 Aug 19

The guys at Ulmer's do great work. They explain everything going on with your car with great detail, but in a way that is easy to understand and follow. I've always had a very fast turn-around; most work I've had done was finished within a single day, except for once when they needed to order a part in. But even then I think it only took an extra day or two. Plus they've got courtesy vehicles if you need a rental in the meantime. Would definitely recommend!

Jacob Breving

20:42 04 Aug 19

I have had intermittent AC issues for a little over a year. The AC finally went out and I decided to take it to Pep Boys to have it inspected. I paid $50 for an inspection for them to tell me the compressor was not getting electricity and that it needed to be replaced. They said it would be $1,000 plus taxes to get a new one and swap it out. Decide to get a second opinion from Ulmer's and they were able to determine that a cap connecting the electrical circuits was loose and just needed to be tightened. They fixed that, and filled my coolant as it was running low as well. Labor + the coolant was only $200 including taxes.

Kathy Dixon

19:14 29 Jul 19

I really appreciate how quickly I can schedule my appointments and how very professional and courteous all the employees are. I have told everyone I know to take their vehicles to Ulmer’s!

Cheryl Kraeutler

18:52 23 Jul 19

Great service. Everyone is helpful and explains the service. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Nancy Shaffer

01:57 02 Jul 19

I'm back in the area for the first time in years...and when my car broke down I knew I needed to get to Ulmer's. They were amazing and explained what I needed. Thank you guys all so much. Best customer care I've experienced in a long time.

Stephen L

20:38 30 Jun 19

Very trustworthy people. Could have charged a lot more on my repairs but held it to the originally quoted price. Also gave me a ride home and a rental car when the repairs took longer than expected. 5 stars

Charles Wetzel

18:29 20 Jun 19

I just had my brake pads and rotors replaced at Ulmer's and I am very pleased with the service. An overall inspection was done as well. I have an older Toyota, which is well out of any manufacturer warranty and I will be taking my vehicle here for routine maintenance in the future. Steve was extremely thorough, courteous and professional. I really appreciate the courtesy shuttle service as well. Thanks Ulmer's for a job well done!

Amelia York

17:32 07 Jun 19

As a woman, I've had so many mechanics talk down to me and that is the exact opposite of my experience at Ulmer's. They're honest, affordable and I really can't say enough good things about the customer service (especially Wesley!). I won't any other mechanic in Cincinnati.

Mildred Stegman

23:57 01 Jun 19

This is the best place that you can take your car for honest repairs. They are pleasent and efficient and do the work on time. Thanks Ulmer's

Caleb Hayward

23:42 12 Mar 19

These guys are excellent. After countless attempts to fix an issue with my Honda using the dealer, I gave Ulmer's a try. They were able to fix my car and charged me the initial quote even though more issues were discovered; plus they are extremely polite and helpful. In my opinion, this is what going to the mechanic should be like. I would recommend them to anyone and will be using them for all of my car maintenance in the future.

Erica Fries

14:14 05 Mar 19

Bryan and his Team at Ulmers Auto Care Center were excellent in helping me. They scheduled my appointment at my convenience, loaned me a car while they had mine, inspected my vehicle AND completed what I needed done in the hours I was at work that day. Their explanation of work done, customer service and respect was above and beyond. They also took the time to listen to me and what I had to say. I appreciate that greatly and I highly recommend them.

Sara Kindle

12:35 03 Mar 19

Ulmer's cares about making sure the job is done right. My repair ended up being less expensive than they had originally quoted me. They will take a brief look at your car and give you a cost estimate for free before you even schedule an appointment. Ulmer's also has a complimentary shuttle that they will use to give you a ride to and from your place of employment while they are fixing your car. They also did not try to tell me a list of other repairs my car "needed", which was a nice change from some auto places I have been to in the past. I would definitely recommend this business to others.

Dave Jackson

14:34 22 Feb 19

These guys know how to do car service right! They quickly diagnose the problem(s), give you the straight scoop on what's wrong, and if you authorize repairs they fix it quickly. All of this is done in an efficient and professional manner. We have had our vehicle repairs done at Ulmer's for years, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a good, reliable mechanic who is customer friendly.

misty brown

02:20 16 Feb 19

These people are great, their honest and up front. Semi expensive depending on what's wrong, however they dont rip you off and you'll get good work guaranteed. It's hard to find good customer service anywhere nowadays, but these men are very friendly and personable.

Pops Murphy

01:49 29 Jan 19

Recently had some work done at Ulmer's. Switched because my "dealer" ...never mind. Wife loves them, so I went. Very nice. On time. Do it right, easy to deal with, prices are reasonable. If you need car work, give them a call. You will love it too.

rachel talley

23:59 18 Dec 18

This shop treats me like family. They always go above and beyond. They have repeatedly gone out of their way to help me when I am in a bind, they did not fix things that are not broken, and they tell me when it is just not worth fixing. As a female, I really appreciate an auto shop where I can actually trust someone to look at my car and give me an honest repair quote. I would recommend this place to anyone. #Customerforlife

Gerald Oaks

17:13 11 Dec 18

We have used Ulmer's Auto for many years -- back to when they only had one shop on Salem Rd. They are honest, efficient, effective, knowledgeable and friendly. Brian does take after his father which is very positive and therefore is a very good manager. His staff is first class which it has been for many, many years.

Ellie Wilke

14:58 07 Dec 18

Ulmer's saved me again! I can always count on them to be polite, listen to me and fix the problem. They are so professional and knowledgeable. I always feel secure and safe in my car after they have fixed it. Thanks so much Bryan, Steve and all the rest of the staff.

Redkat Blonde

23:27 03 Dec 18

Excellent service and the most honest repair shop in the city. You’ll always get the real answer on what’s needed now, what can wait snd what to think about in the future, with regards to maintenance and repairs. Cannot recommend more highly!

Kristin Bally

23:21 29 Nov 18

Always trustworthy and reliable. Very polite too! Highly recommend for any of your car’s needs.

Randy Martinez

21:16 29 Nov 18

Very fair and reliable. Always willing to talk through issues with you, so you don’t pay more than needed. Quick turnaround on repairs. And you won’t get better customer service anywhere. I found their shop a few years ago when I moved to the city and couldn’t be happier.

Mike Sullivan

01:00 28 Nov 18

Ulmer’s provides outstanding service. They are responsive, thorough in their explanation of the issues and willing to provide alternative solutions when available.

Carl Matthews

Quick. Professional. Solution in a clean and warm customer area. Free Coffee and bottle water are a courtesy and available.

Martha Viehmann

15:27 05 Nov 18

Excellent service. The office staff take all questions seriously and answer them clearly. They've maintained and repaired my families' cars for over a decade and helped me feel confident about my choices. Rides are available, and the waiting area is clean. Beverages and restroom available.

Stryfe Hyppo

22:54 22 Oct 18

Steve was very respectful and appreciative. He explained everything and asked if I had any questions. My car was repaired the same day and was reasonably priced.

Randy Wilson

12:39 04 Oct 18

First time ever going to them. I drive by their shop all the time but never really thought of them. Had a timing chain go bad on my car. I decided to stop in and talk to them about possibly repairing the car. They gave us a few options on the best way to fix our car which one of them would have been the most expensive but they suggested engine replacement which ended up being cheaper. Plus they are adding a warranty vs no guarantee to just replacing the timing chain. Everyone was very professional. They called frequently to update me on the work. Will continue to use them from now on.

Laura Balside

23:23 02 Oct 18

Service is always excellent! No surprises here. The extra benefit is you can drop your car off and they’ll take you home and pick you up when it’s ready. The staff is very polite, friendly, and always helpful with any questions you have!

w Genter

15:59 26 Sep 18

They did a thorough check of my car, not just the alignment I took it in for. They also checked my ignition switch at no charge and agreed I probably should have a new key made. Everyone was courteous and explained exactly what they did. Love the shuttle service home and back when my car was ready.

VernP Anderson

02:08 20 Sep 18

As usual they took great care of our Lexus and made the car road ready for our next trip to Florida. Price, convenience and car. What more can you ask for. Vern

Andrew Laurence

00:27 12 Sep 18

Highly recommend everyone take their cars to Ulmer's. They always go the extra mile to make sure your car is taken care of and so are you. Everyone that works there is professional and courteous. Always willing to go above and beyond to make sure you have a five star experience. If you want your car to run forever, Ulmer's is the place to go.

Anthony Zaya

00:30 11 Sep 18

Honesty, Integrity and Value are three things I believe everyone looks for in Auto repair. There is no better company than Ulmer’s to give you their best on all of these. Thanks for keeping me and my family safe while on the road.

Eric Schwein

15:20 31 Aug 18

I blew the heater control valve on my way home from work on my birthday. The truck wasn't the only thing steaming! Dropped it off at Ulmer's expecting to hear from them sometime the next day. Less than 2 hours and they called to let me know it was ready! Brian and Jason, you guys are awesome! Thank you so much.

Michael Horn

00:31 28 Aug 18

Refreshing to experience such a high level of customer service. (Dealerships should take note!) Quality service. Thorough technicians. Pleasant customer lounge with coffee and water. These folks know what they're doing!

Excellent car care place. They listen to what you say and then give their expert solution. Thhey do what they say they are going to do. AAA+

Marvin Collins

00:22 11 Aug 18

We send a big THANK YOU to Brian, Steve, Wesley, Fred, and to those whose names we don’t know. We were so impressed with the attention given our Toyota last Monday and we greatly appreciate it. That’s another reason why we tell people that our vehicles have been given excellent care during the last 20 or so years at Ulmer’s. You are tops in our opinion.?Marv Collins and Dean Colville

Joe Byrnes

00:23 06 Aug 18

I just wanted to give a huge “Thank You” to all of the staff at Ulmer’s Auto Care. My family and I were stopping by our hometown while on our way to our new home in Las Vegas when one of our cars suddenly got a massive oil leak Friday morning. I took it to Ulmers and explained to them that I’m driving the car to Las Vegas on Monday morning. They were already very busy but Wes and Bryan still figured out a way to diagnose the problem quickly and then get the part, install it, clean up the engine for me and get the car back to me on the very same day. Unbelievable customer service! Thank you Gentlemen!

Dale Marie Goldman

10:13 20 Jul 18

Was honest and upfront about repair. Completed repair in a timely manner and explained what was done. Would highly recommend.

Michael Albl

17:52 19 Jul 18

Absolutely the best at what they do. Professional. Honest. Fair. Customer service oriented. Friendly. Polite. And back their warranties.

Fabin nistic

10:31 17 Jul 18

Ulmer's is one of the very few Auto care businesses I've done business with that conducts itself with integrity and stands behind the services it provides. I've been a customer of theirs for over 20 years and they consistently outshine the competition because they value their customers and stand behind their work. I recommend you give them a chance to prove it to you by scheduling your next service appointment today.

Shad Sletto

14:44 15 Jul 18

The folks at Ulmer's focus on fixing the problem. We have a variety of cars they service and they are always reliable and cost-conscious. I highly recommend them.

Anastasia Mileham

10:12 11 Jul 18

These guys are simply the best. They care about their work, they care about their customers, and they are extremely knowledgeable and up to date on everything happening in the auto industry. I go to Ulmer’s for everything from an oil change to a new transmission.

Nancy Manassah

01:24 11 Jul 18

We had our oil changed a couple of weeks ago and they went over the entire car. I ask them to check the wipers and they changed them as well. They went over their check list as well which is standard procedure. You always leave feeling that your car is in excellent condition. If something is wrong, they will find it. We have been going to them since we moved to Anderson in 2002 and would not go to anyone else. They are the best.

Kevin K

16:00 10 Jul 18

Had issues with my car and Ulmers found a way to fit me in the very next morning. Great customer service experience and I felt like I received an honest quote. I’ll be a returning customer.

Tammy Sellers

Every employee at Ulmer's Auto is wonderful to work with! They are so caring and accommodating! They are honest and can always repair all of our autos, which is refreshing!

Excellent full service auto care; friendly and knowledgeable staff; top notch repairs and service

Patricia Cobb

17:54 14 Mar 18

I felt comfortable discussing issues with my car, and they listened. It's nice to do business with kind people. They came to pick my husband up to go get the car since we were down to one car with a baby. Customer service is top notch. Highly recommend.

Marlo Sawka Parlin

20:06 09 Feb 18

So, I and sending out a huge thank you to Bryan from Ulmer's Auto Care. Not only are they the best mechanics in Cincinnati they also provide the best customer service ever. Our family has been going to them for decades. Today I found myself out of gas a few miles from their garage in Anderson (while at a gas station, long story). I called Ulmer's to see if they could help me out in a pinch. They said, "We'll be right there!" What more can I say, they care about their customers like they are family. Thank you, Bryan!

Jim Simminger

20:59 07 Feb 18

Wow! I just had a great experience with Ulmers today. I took my CRV in for breaks; they diagnosed the problems and concluded that although new breaks and rotors would fix the problem and would be needed this year, that it was not absolutely necessary right now. Since it’s a bit of a pricey job, I’ll go back in a couple of months and have it done. But, I was impressed with the customer service and explanation Steve gave to me as he presented their findings.

Alexis Swisher

19:13 04 Jan 18

I’ve been coming to Ulmer’s for years now and recently moved to Columbus. I still drive my car down to Cincinnati to get my car serviced because I love how they treat me like family. Bryan and crew are the best!

Alex Martishius

18:26 04 Dec 17

These guys are awesome. They know me and my family personally, and they are always friendly. They are honest and fair, they don't try to push services on you that you don't need. You will pay a bit more here for routine maintenance vs. the cheap places, but you get what you pay for. It's a great value for the price.

Susan Stefan

19:12 07 Jun 17

Our family has used Ulmer's in Anderson for years. We drive used cars. Brian, Steve, and the rest of the team, past and present, have always been knowledgeable, professional, efficient, and friendly. Everyone there is very customer-service oriented. I never have concerns about the quality of the service or parts. To us, they are a highly valued member of our community. We are fortunate to have them!
